With an actual first initial of G, it's a good thing my middle initial
is not D.

There was a recently a similiar story with a woman who had the plate:
NWTF. To her it stood for north west tree farm or something like that....
of course we all know what it is online. She had the plates for years.
think she got to keep them. forgot what state...

A few years ago IL had an entire series of random number plates that started
with WTF. I saw a couple of them.

For that matter, a creative mind can probablly make an offensive phrase
out of just about any three letter combination. As for the "F Nader,"
plate, that F could stand for a number of things, not just "****."

Also, this paragraph says alot about the so-called complaint and the
person who made it:

"Miller, who restores Corvairs in his spare time, has had the
personalized Iowa Hawkeye-style plates since 2001. He said no one
objected for the past five years until he drove through Ames last spring
and his vehicle was observed by Joel Paulson, an Iowa State Cyclone fan
who lodged a complaint with state officials."

Leads me to want to know: would Paulson have made the complaint if he
had the standard Iowa design instead of the Iows Hawkeye design (and
yes, I know what the complaintant said in the next paragraph; doesn't
mean he's telling the truth)?

There was a Corvair in the Vintage Grand Prix race and car show with the
same plate (PA Plate) in Pittsburgh about 10 years ago.
